Everything about Shimano XTR screams class, innovation and top of the range tech so you better hold onto your hats as we look a bit deeper into the world of the M9000 front derailleur.

XTR Triple Front Derailleur

This mech is designed to work with the Triple Trail XTR crank which is the perfect set up for exploring the wilderness as it will enable you to get over any climb with its massive 33 speed range. The mech generates an extra 15mm of tyre clearance due to Shimano implementing a new Side-Swingmechanism which allows for the new style of trail bikes with shorter chainstays which is common on the new larger wheeled bikes with longer travel. Side-Swing doesn't only allow for shorter chainstays, Shimano have calculated that it increases shift performance by an incredible 100%, the XTR M9000 series really does lead the way.
